How are you doing,Duncan? Can you hear me? Did you watch our 10-kilometer-marathone-race in which you were supposed to take part in today? What? Did you say you could easily come in among the top ten. NO WAY! Among one of the top twenty, I would say, you could. You know, Duncan, we have tougher boys!
Duncan, starangly enough, all of a sudden I became a warm-hearted person today. At the marathone I called out to almost each running boy on the river field. "Ganbare!" "Keep running!""The goal is not so far away!""You can walk now, but after regaing GENKI back run ain!""That's the sprit!" I've never shouted to them like this before.Today I became a kind-hearted guy. You know why, Dunca? That's because you were with me at Mukogawa River today pertacipating the race. I was also giving encouragement to you, too!

Today we had your father and Craig at our school. They wached your desk decorated with beautiful flowers. They were very much proud of you, Duncan. At a small ceremony we had, some of the kids and my co-workers expresed their beautiful memories with you. Did you listen to them all? Suprisingly enough, Takemoto made really a good English speech,unable to keep his sobbing down. Really inpressive. You really had some fabulous studens, Duncan.
I love you, Duncan. We all do!!
